"Has it been negotiated?"
The 701 Aircraft Engineering Project Team of the Ice City Aircraft Manufacturing Plant checked in at the Red Star Factory Guesthouse.
Director Han, who was accompanied by the Ministry of Industry, left after the lunch banquet.
After the members of the Project 701 team woke up from their sleep, they heard that the project had been discussed.
As the host and partner, Red Star Factory should prepare appropriate food and accommodation for guests coming from afar.
In order to facilitate his participation in the already finalized cooperation negotiations and the delegation formation meeting, the project team director Kong Xiaobo accepted Li Xuewu's invitation and checked in at the guesthouse.
Li Xuewu also sincerely invited him to visit the Red Star Factory.
Kong Xiaobo is not a fish on the chopping board, nor is Project 701, and even less is the Ice City Aircraft Manufacturing Plant.
However, the complexity of the matter exceeded his expectations, and the simple and crude way in which the Red Star Factory handled the matter caught him off guard.
He cannot blame the mistake on the other party's unconventional behavior and using force to bully others.
Because the Red Star Factory has always been humble, polite and courteous.
Even during the communication, a deputy director was arranged as the main contact person.
Everything made sense, but nothing made sense at the same time. He had no way of describing to his colleagues how things had come to this point.
Faced with everyone's doubts, Kong Xiaobo could only remain silent.
"This is the most ridiculous thing in the world--!"
Deputy Chief Engineer Qiu Guanlin slammed the table excitedly and said in dissatisfaction: "Is this how the Red Star Factory does things? Such despicable means!"
"Too deceiving!"
Technical engineer Zhu Lei complained: "If you don't want to talk to us, why bother sending so many people? Just ask Director Kong to come!"
"Comrade Zhu Lei——"
Deputy Director Bai Guangming frowned and reminded: "This matter cannot be blamed on Director Kong!"
"That's true. I don't think it's Director Kong's fault."
Shangguan Qi, the youngest and most educated engineer on the team, nodded in agreement and looked at Zhu Lei, emphasizing, "You can't say that."
"I didn't mean that—"
Zhu Lei also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and explained with an embarrassed look: "I meant Red Star..."
"It's my fault. Comrade Zhu Lei is right."
Kong Xiaobo, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, interrupting Zhu Lei's explanation.
As everyone looked at him, Kong Xiaobo took a puff of his cigarette and said slowly, "Arrogant and arrogant."
"From the beginning, I didn't take this inspection seriously, so it was inevitable that I made mistakes."
He raised his head, looked at everyone and said, "I rashly led the team here before I understood the specific situation of the Red Star Factory."
"I don't blame them for setting up an ambush, and I don't blame you either. It's my fault for not leading the team well."
"Director Kong——"
Chief Engineer Shi Zhiyuan frowned and said, "What on earth happened? Why are we..."
He raised his hand to signal everyone in the room, and asked in doubt: "How is it possible to reach an agreement so quickly in just one afternoon?"
"Besides, how can we discuss this cooperation without any technical discussion?"
"We didn't talk about technology, and they don't need it either." Kong Xiaobo exhaled a puff of smoke and said in a somewhat bleak tone: "Or you could say that they don't need us at all."
"This...how is this possible!"
Qiu Guanlin said excitedly: "Without our technical support, how can they produce?"
"That's right. I don't believe a steel mill can make airplanes!" Zhu Lei stood up and walked to Qiu Guanlin's side and emphasized, "Even if they have a production line, do they understand helicopters?"
"They don't need to understand—"
Kong Xiaobo was sitting with his legs crossed at the desk by the window, which was on the fourth floor of the guesthouse.
It can be said that the Red Star Factory attached great importance to them. Before the International Hotel was built, this was the exclusive room for the top leaders.
Just because they came from far away and were a technical team, we gave them a superior room.
This place is quite spacious and suitable for working and discussing together.
Look, all eight members of the Project 701 team are here.
"Director Kong, what do you mean?"
Shangguan Qi frowned and asked, "Do they have other options for cooperation?"
"But--"
She emphasized: "We are the cooperation unit designated by the Third Ministry of Machine Building."
"First of all, the other party is indeed looking for a new partner."
Kong Xiaobo explained: "What I heard should be the Fengcheng Aircraft Manufacturing Plant."
"Secondly, there is no such thing as a designated one."
He waved his hand to stop Shangguan Qi from speaking, and continued to explain: "The order I received was to conduct research and negotiations to strive for cooperation."
"Besides, you should be able to tell from the attitude of Director Han from the Ministry of Industry."
Kong Xiaobo flicked the cigarette butt in his hand and put it out directly into the ashtray.
"If there really was any designation, it wouldn't be the Ministry of Industry arranging people to accompany us."
"I don't understand, Director Kong."
Zhu Lei asked: "Have they finalized any cooperative enterprises?"
"Or do you simply have a problem with our arrival?"
"I think too much, and I think too much too."
Kong Xiaobo smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly, saying: "Red Star Factory is not prepared to independently produce the parts needed for helicopters."
Amid everyone's shocked expressions, he continued, "All parts of the KH-4 are outsourced. They only assemble the helicopter."
“They even plan to establish a helicopter manufacturing plant in the form of a joint-stock company or a joint venture.”
"Director Kong!"
Qiu Guanlin was so shocked that he couldn't form any words. He stuttered and asked, "Not producing parts? Then how... who will produce them for them?"
"Also, what is the form of joint stock and joint venture? What kind of organizational system is this?"
"It is for the purpose of groupization. The Red Star Factory has submitted a groupization project to the Ministry of Industry."
Kong Xiaobo continued, “The explanation given by Li Xuewu, deputy director of the Management Committee Office, is that the Red Star Factory needs to expand its business scope during the groupization process.”
"However, the company's capital and management capabilities are limited, so Hongxing Factory focuses on investment and management in new projects."
He pointed at Zhu Lei and explained to him: "Take the aircraft manufacturing project we are discussing as an example. Red Star Factory only uses the production line they received as equity. Funds, production, technology, and workers will be supplemented by recruiting partners."
"It has been finalized. A bank in Beijing has decided to invest 500 million yuan."
Seeing the confusion in everyone's eyes, Kong Xiaobo told them everything he knew.
"Regarding the aircraft manufacturing plant, Red Star Factory already has a complete production and operation plan."
He said: "That is, technical joint venture, production cooperation, and joint stock operation."
"Red Star Factory has agreed to cooperate with us in manufacturing and R&D technology, and will provide an opportunity for the inspection team, allowing us to participate in the entire dismantling and modification process."
"At the same time, Red Star Factory will provide funds for the next model, as well as subsequent research and development of light helicopters and other aircraft."
When everyone was surprised at the generosity of the Red Star Factory, he said: "In return, we must support all the technical needs of the Red Star Aircraft Manufacturing Plant and share the research and development results with the Red Star Factory."
"This...if..."
When Qiu Guanlin heard this, he narrowed his eyes and asked hesitantly, "How do we supervise this content?"
"There is no need for supervision unless we don't want their money."
Kong Xiaobo knew what he was thinking and said seriously, "The 701 Project team will move to Beijing. The Red Star Factory will provide the project team with an office location in the ecological industrial zone that is under construction."
“How is this possible—!”
Zhu Lei shook his head and said, "This condition is too harsh and ridiculous."
He looked at the others and emphasized, "Isn't this just plundering? Expecting to buy everything with money. Can our factory's projects be bought with money?"
After this question was asked, the director, deputy director, chief engineer, deputy chief engineer, and other technical engineers all fell silent.
Our own people know our own business. Others may not know what the situation of the 701 project team is, but don’t they know it themselves?
If you really have money, why would you go through so much trouble and actively come to Beijing to coordinate?
Sometimes, having money really allows you to do whatever you want.
The Red Star Factory is wealthy and powerful, and the helicopter production line that they value is seen by others as just a part of the group process formed to enrich the industrial industry.
It is only for the subsequent development and the healthy development of the industry that there is a need for technology.
"In addition, Red Star Factory will calculate the technical cost based on the total investment and construction cost of the project," Kong Xiaobo introduced, "and accordingly, a certain share will be given as a bonus."
"What do you mean? Aren't you talking about shares?"
Qiu Guanlin questioned: "We have participated in technical transformation and maintenance, and we have to participate in project development. We also have to move our families here, but we can only get bonuses?"
“Yes, this is the technology joint venture.”
Kong Xiaobo said: "The production equipment belongs to others, they didn't ask us to use it."
"Unless our factory can also invest in equipment, workers and funds to obtain shares."
He spread his hands and emphasized: "This is a management share, or a production cooperation share."
"Technical joint venture means that when the 701 project team moves to Beijing, they will also have corresponding aircraft research talents to participate."
Kong Xiaobo sat up straight, nodded slightly and said: "If you have made contributions to technical reform, you will get the bonus for technical reform. If you have made contributions to disassembly and assembly, you will get the bonus for disassembly and assembly."
"If a new aircraft model is born during the joint venture of the project team, you can get the design bonus, otherwise there will be no money."
"This is really absurd. What have we become?"
Zhu Lei sat on the chair and complained, "Are you the wheat pickers working part-time at the Red Star Factory?"
"Yes, the wheat pickers who work part-time—"
Kong Xiaobo smiled, nodded and said, "This description is very appropriate."
"We have to bring our own wages here, just like the wheat pickers have to bring their own tools and luggage."
He looked at the others and continued, "Only when the wheat is harvested and stored in the warehouse will we be given bonuses."
“In fact, we don’t have to cooperate.”
Kong Xiaobo nodded and said, "The cooperation plan proposed by the other party is too risky."
"In addition to the opportunity to visit and study in Japan for half a year, in addition to the opportunity to participate in the dismantling and modification of the entire project, in addition to a research institute in Beijing, in addition to sufficient research funds."
He listed all the conditions offered by the Red Star Factory and finally spread his hands.
"We not only have to go through the hard work of moving, but we also have to share our research results, if we can really develop a new model."
Kong Xiaobo shook his head slightly and said, "Otherwise, our efforts will be in vain."
"It's just gambling. The joint venture just gives us a chance to get on the gambling table."
Shangguan Qi seemed to have understood, and looked at Kong Xiaobo and said, "We have to bet the entire project team that the technology we have learned can produce a new aircraft."
“This way we can keep the project team going and continue to get bonuses.”
"Red Star Factory is also betting—"
She looked at everyone and explained, "We're betting that the technical support and research we put in will really pay off."
"Correspondingly, they are the dealers."
Shangguan Qi let out a long sigh, looked at Kong Xiaobo again and said, "No matter whether we win or lose, the banker takes it all and will never lose."
"It seems that the Deputy Director Li you are in contact with is a master of gambling."
First there was Kong Xiaobo's summary, and then there was Shangguan Qi's vivid metaphor. Everyone in the project team in the room understood what they heard.
After figuring it out, everyone felt a deep sense of powerlessness; it turned out there was a monster.
No wonder the cunning Director Kong failed here and stumbled.
Even if they come together, the outcome of today's negotiations will not be any better.
Although it is still unclear how the other party achieves production and operation, they know that this is not a negotiation but a notification and charity.
The cooperation plan is not negotiated out, but brought out by the other party for you to see.
If you agree, sign it. If you don’t agree, pack your bags and go home.
There is no room or scope for further negotiation. How else can you talk?
Should we break the 500 million investment that they have already agreed upon, or overturn the Fengfei Factory that they are currently communicating with?
Not to mention that they don't have the ability, even if they do, they can't do it.
That would offend everyone.
Looking at the technical joint venture materials that Director Kong received, everyone felt both emotional and helpless.
The person who designed this project plan is really a monster.
"I never destroy my own ambitions to enhance the prestige of others."
Kong Xiaobo picked up the teacup and took a sip, then looked at everyone and confirmed, "But I have to be honest, this Deputy Director Li of the Red Star Factory is not a simple person."
"What a coincidence, isn't it?"
Zhu Lei stood up and walked to the window, standing next to Shangguan Qi and said, "The head of Red Star Factory is surnamed Li, and the young and promising deputy director of the Security Department and the deputy director of the Management Committee Office are also surnamed Li."
"What do you want to say?"
Kong Xiaobo frowned slightly, squinted his eyes and looked at Zhu Lei, reminding him: "Be careful with your words and actions, don't do stupid things, and don't say irrelevant words."
"I am just stating a fact."
Zhu Lei spread his hands and emphasized: "I don't know who designed this plan."
"But I don't think that Deputy Director Li is that smart."
"If you think so, why don't you go out and take a look, or talk to him?"
Kong Xiaobo pointed at the table, looked at him seriously and said, "If you have different opinions, you can raise them here, but don't say things that can easily affect unity and cause conflicts."
"Comrade Zhu Lei, you said the wrong thing."
Qiu Guanlin turned back, glanced at Zhu Lei, and said, "Without investigation, there is no right to speak."
He turned back and glanced at Kong Xiaobo, emphasizing: "Director Kong means that you should at least have something to say, and not speak without purpose."
"Don't make trouble for yourself—"
Kong Xiaobo did not respond to Qiu Guanlin's words, but looked at Zhu Lei with an unpleasant expression and reminded him: "The water in Beijing is very deep. If you want to try, you can do it alone. Don't bring disaster to others."
These words were too blunt and too harsh to hear, and everyone in the room looked unhappy.
Kong Xiaobo did not give any explanation, but just gave an unclear warning.
However, smart people have figured out that neither the Red Star Factory nor Li Xuewu can be swallowed by their incoming dragon.
"Don't talk nonsense—"
Shangguan Qi looked at Zhu Lei, whose face was gloomy, and reminded him softly, "That person can have a direct conversation with the director of the General Office of the Ministry of Industry."
"Helicopters are a big project for everyone, but Red Star Factory is playing small."
Kong Xiaobo ignored Zhu Lei and continued to introduce to everyone: "The purpose is very clear, which is to not give the Third Ministry of Machine Building a chance to say hello."
In 1960, the "Third Ministry of Machine Industry" was separated from the First Ministry of Machine Industry, which was responsible for managing the aviation, weapons, tanks, radio and shipbuilding industries separated from the First Ministry of Machine Industry.
The First Ministry of Machine Building was in charge of civilian machinery.
Now the Red Star Factory is under the management of the First Ministry of Machine Building, while the Ice City Aircraft Manufacturing Factory is under the management of the Third Ministry of Machine Building.
"Aircraft manufacturing companies have three parts: technology, production, and management. No matter which direction you start from, you have to abide by their rules of the game."
Kong Xiaobo spread his hands, looked at everyone and asked, "How do you think we can play?"
"They have already said that the East City Credit Union will invest 300 million and the United Savings Bank will invest million to obtain operating shares."
"Red Star Factory has its own supply chain for machining and parts industries, and all parts used in aircraft manufacturing are purchased through the supply chain."
He explained: "In the production process, people have to control and manage it themselves, and there are no production technical requirements for parts at all."
"Even if there are technical requirements for maintenance, they have their own research institutes to support it."
"The only thing is that they won't allow us to dominate the subsequent R&D technology requirements."
Kong Xiaobo spread his hands and said, "We need to find at least one more aircraft manufacturer to join the joint venture."
"Yes, I know what you are thinking. They only paid for management and production lines, but they got the biggest and sweetest piece of the pie."
Kong Xiaobo looked at everyone and asked, "The problem now is that they don't want to share the scraps with us. What can you do about it?"
"Is the Third Ministry of Machine Building going to quarrel with the First Ministry of Machine Building because of us? Or are we going to take the production line away by force?"
"Director Kong——"
Chief Engineer Shi Zhiyuan asked, "Is this the final cooperation agreement?"
"That's the main intention," Kong Xiaobo said seriously, "If we don't plan to join the inspection team to Japan, we can continue the discussion."
“When will the expedition depart?”
Qiu Guanlin thought for a moment and asked again: "Can everyone in the project team go?"
Kong Xiaobo looked at him as if he were a fool and replied, "What do you think, Mr. Qiu?"
-
"I say this Li Xuewu has no good intentions!"
After returning to the room, Zhu Lei threw the notebook in his hand onto the small table.
They were not qualified to stay in the luxury suite, but there was a long wooden wall-mounted desk against the wall.
It’s just that he’s in a bad mood right now, so there’s no place to record his mood.
Shangguan Qi, who came in with him, stood against the wall at the door with his arms folded.
She curled her lips and reminded: "The director has already said that you should be careful about what you say."
"What? Red Star Factory still cares about me?"
Zhu Lei had a hot temper. He sat down on the bed, took out a cigarette and lit it.
He shook his chin and said, "I have never encountered such an aggrieved project."
"You can also apply to go back—"
Shangguan Qi fanned away the smell of smoke that drifted towards her, frowned and went to open the window.
Zhu Lei's eyes kept following Shangguan Qi's figure, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"There are only a limited number of places to go to Japan anyway, so why bother yourself?"
Shangguan Qi walked back to the desk, pulled out a chair and sat down, with the notebook on her lap.
"That's great. Didn't the director say that he would arrange for someone to go back with him to make a report? You can tell your superiors about the grievances and injustices here."
"Humph--"
Zhu Lei turned his head away and snorted, "I'm not going back. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."
"It doesn't matter. You have your temper."
Shangguan Qi looked him over, stood up and said, "I'm going back. I still have work to do."
"Do you really want to go to Japan?"
Zhu Lei turned his head and looked at Shangguan Qi who had stood up and suddenly asked, "You don't want to go back to Bingcheng either. You want to come to Beijing. Is that right?"
He stood up and walked to Shangguan Qi, staring into her eyes, and said, "You obviously know that I like you, and my family is already arranging a marriage."
"Zhu Lei, can you please be more rational?"
Shangguan Qi frowned and looked at Zhu Lei to remind him, "This is the arrangement of the project team. I want to continue learning and strive for progress. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"Also, regarding marriage, I don't want my personal feelings to affect my career and work."
"Is this your attitude?"
Zhu Lei suddenly grabbed Shangguan Qi's arm excitedly and shouted hysterically: "What did you say when your family was in trouble?"
"It was my dad who used his connections to save your family, and this is how you treat me?"
"Zhu Lei! Let go——"
Shangguan Qi wanted to shake off Zhu Lei's hand, but he held it tightly and it hurt a lot.
She struggled and pushed Zhu Lei hard. In excitement, she raised her hand and hit him.
Snapped--
The slap hit Zhu Lei's face hard before he could react, and made him involuntarily let go of his hand.
"You-you dare to hit me!"
Zhu Lei looked at Shangguan Qi with a face full of grievance and shock, covering his face, feeling his whole body burning with anger.
He raised his hand, as if to slap back.
But Shangguan Qi felt scared after beating him, so he closed his eyes, raised his face, and was about to hit him.
Zhu Lei looked at Shangguan Qi, whose face was filled with panic and tears, and he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"You are planning to take this opportunity to never go back and never marry me, right?"
He looked at Shangguan Qi with unbearable sadness and anger and asked, "You obviously knew that I would not follow the project team to Beijing, right?"
"Actively respond to this project, so you can legitimately go to Japan to hide for half a year."
Zhu Lei let go of his face, trembling all over and suppressing his words: "When you come back again, I won't be able to control you, right?"
Shangguan Qi stood there with her eyes closed, but tears just kept flowing out of her eye sockets.
She pursed her lips tightly, crying for her birth, her fate, and her feelings.
People are all made of flesh and blood. Even if I didn't like Zhu Lei at the beginning, after more than a year of getting along with him, I know that he is a good person.
Zhu Lei's family didn't think highly of her, and it was Zhu Lei who threatened to commit suicide and asked his father for help.
For getting her family off the list, she felt more grateful to Zhu Lei than she felt any affection for him.
But life is all about coincidences, half gain and half loss, she has already accepted it.
Whether going to Japan or following the project team to Beijing, she admitted that she had selfish motives to avoid it, but she had never thought of regretting the engagement.
It was just that Zhu Lei's desire to control and possess her made her feel suffocated.
Even if it's just to give her a little breathing room, as long as they try, the two of them can go to Japan to work for half a year and change the environment to get along well.
At the very least, we can come and live in Beijing together, which is better than enduring his mother's sarcasm at home.
But Zhu Lei didn't think so at all. He would never leave home, let alone leave Bingfei.
He is like a little bird that is reluctant to fly away, forever sheltered in his mother's arms.
He can live a good life in Bingcheng where his parents are taking care of him, so why should he come to Beijing to suffer?
In Ice City, he is a young talent, promising at a young age, and a true protagonist.
But when he arrived in the capital, the arrogant boy suffered a sudden blow on his first day.
The 21-year-old deputy director, who was in charge of the security and organizational coordination of an enterprise that was about to be incorporated into a group, was inevitably angry and embarrassed by the comparison.
It would be better if the young deputy director was just a name without merit, and he could despise and ridicule him to his heart's content.
But from Director Kong’s introduction, it is obviously not the case. That is what it means to be a young and promising person.
Therefore, Zhu Lei's old quail-like habit came back. He despised everything he didn't want to see and was unwilling to make efforts to narrow the gap. He was eager to avoid this reality and wanted to ensure his self-confidence by escaping from the capital and leaving here.
Perhaps it was because at the discussion just now, she agreed with Director Kong's summary and praised Deputy Director Li, which made Zhu Lei unhappy, losing self-confidence and feeling insecure.
That's why he is so obsessed with comforting himself by belittling others and hindering projects.
It was precisely because of this that Shangguan Qi followed Zhu Lei here when the other party was emotionally unstable, wanting to persuade him.
However, it is obvious that Zhu Lei is still a child who has not grown up, even though he is 24 years old.
Zhu Lei looked at the disappointment and pain on Shangguan Qi's face, and knew that he had said the wrong thing.
But as a man, he would not allow himself to be wrong, and he would not allow Shangguan Qi to treat him with such an attitude, so he still took action.
Shangguan Qi was thrown violently onto the bed. Feeling Zhu Lei's ferocious movements, she still closed her eyes and endured it silently, even if she owed him.
Zhu Lei's eyes were red and he was panting as he tried to unbutton her shirt, but his hands were shaking so much that he only unbuttoned three buttons. Looking at her tears falling between her ears, he could no longer bear it and raised his hand to slap himself.
Shangguan Qi heard the noise and felt Zhu Lei stop moving. She opened her eyes and saw that he had already run out of the dormitory crying.
He's a good guy after all, isn't he?
Shangguan Qi sat up, wiped the tears from her face, and fastened the three buttons that Zhu Lei had unbuttoned. She felt like she had died once.
Maybe the heart is dead.
-
"I heard that Deputy Director Liu from the city was punished?"
Xia Zhongquan shook his hands, as he was scalded by the cup of tea that Peng Xiaoli had just handed over.
Peng Xiaoli apologized and wanted to help him, but he was rejected by waving his hand.
"It's no problem. Just go and do your thing."
After driving Peng Xiaoli away, he looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Will the merger of the sixteen companies be delayed? We can calculate the engineering and planning quantities in a timely manner with the engineering department!"
"It shouldn't be a problem. What do you think this is? Are you playing house?"
Li Xuewu chuckled and shook his head, saying, "The higher-ups are all paying attention to the merger case. Liu Xiangqian is being punished. Do you want to take it back?"
"I think so, it should be fine..."
Xia Zhongquan didn't seem to be talking to Li Xuewu, but rather seemed to be comforting himself.
"Please don't let anything happen again. I don't want to have to coordinate again."
The Red Star Factory will need half a year to complete the integration and merger of the sixteen factories.
Finance, personnel, logistics, cadres, production, etc., all need to be integrated.
Let’s not talk about other things as they are not under Xia Zhongquan’s jurisdiction, so let’s just talk about mechanical equipment and technology integration.
It is necessary to integrate the production equipment and business of the 16 factories with the Red Star Factory's own business and the tertiary industry business. If the integration cannot be achieved, new factories and workshops will be arranged to arrange production tasks.
During this process, Red Star Factory has to build workshops for the equipment of these factories. The order is the same as the order of integration and merger, and it also has to check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps.
When Xia Zhongquan first received this task, he was so scared when he looked at the plan.
Fortunately, he now has many technical personnel and intellectuals.
"Hehehe——"
Li Xuewu chuckled and shook his head, took a sip of tea, and asked, "How is the formation of the Japan inspection team going?"
"Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind."
Xia Zhongquan leaned back on the sofa, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Have you reached an agreement with the 701 Project team?"
"They need to report, communicate and ask for instructions because they are short of a contract."
Li Xuewu put down his teacup and explained, "But the plan is the same plan, so you don't have to worry about them. Just prepare as you need to."
The plan is the one that Li Xuewu took out from the safe. Everyone knew that Bingfei’s team was coming, so why didn’t he make preparations in advance?
Xia Zhongquan also knew this. The cooperation project was finalized so quickly. He was not surprised at all that the Bingfei 701 team fell into Li Xuewu's trap. He would have been surprised if they hadn't fallen into it.
"So, who will lead the team?"
He looked at Li Xuewu eagerly, wanting to get definite information from Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu looked at him with amusement and asked, "Why? You're still strong and want to do it again? This trip is not easy."
"Ugh--"
Xia Zhongquan understood that the leader had other considerations.
Actually, it is true. He is not young anymore, and this trip abroad is not for tourism.
In half a year, it is like a scramble for knowledge, and we should give the opportunity to young people.
At his age, no matter how quickly he wants to accept new things, he can't deceive himself.
He had a premonition of this, but he couldn't help but want to go out and take a look. If he didn't see it with his own eyes, he really couldn't feel the difference between inside and outside.
"Don't be like this—"
Li Xuewu glanced at him with amusement and said, "There will be opportunities in the future. In a few years, you can go out and play if you want."
"Don't be so blind, the pie you drew is not round enough!"
Xia Zhongquan smiled, waved his hand and said, "I'm not doing this for fun, I just want to know how far the little devil has developed."
"I told you, there will be a chance sooner or later."
Li Xuewu raised his hand and patted his arm in comfort, saying, "Live well and don't worry about dying. It will definitely be your turn to go abroad."
"Go to hell, hahahaha——"
Although Xia Zhongquan was unwilling to listen to Li Xuewu's words, they sounded very powerful.
The two were talking and laughing when a girl knocked on the door and came in carrying a kettle.
"Uncle! Why are you here?"
The girl was a bit fierce, her words could choke someone to death, "Are you here for our director's tea too?"
"Hehehe——"
Li Xuewu picked up the teacup and looked at Xia Zhongquan, just waiting to see him make fun.
Xia Zhongquan frowned, glanced at his niece impatiently, and asked Li Xuewu: "Why did you set a trap for her?"
"Arrange it far away. Is the border office short of people? Send her to the border!"
"Oh my—uncle!"
Wang Lu took the kettle and put it on the tea cabinet. She stomped her feet in anger when she heard her uncle's words.
Xia Zhongquan glared at his niece and scolded her, "Are you at home?"
"What did I tell you to do at work? You should address others by their titles. Can't you remember?"
"understood--!"
Wang Lu pursed her lips and muttered, "Dear Deputy Director of the Technical Development Leading Group Office, Director of the Engineering Management Office, and Chief Engineer Xia of the Beijing Red Star Steel Rolling Mill of the First Industrial Machinery Department!"
"You bastard——!"
Xia Zhongquan knew something was wrong when he heard her chanting, and he tried to stop her halfway through but failed.
"Hahaha--!"
Li Xuewu almost burst out laughing. This girl is so funny. How did she give birth to her child?
"Didn't you ask me to call you by my title?"
It’s not that Wang Lu can’t speak, she also knows how to act like a spoiled child, otherwise she wouldn’t be loved by her family.
You say she is stupid?
When Peng Xiaoli arranged for her to come to the Security Department, he didn't think this girl was stupid.
The silly girl was already depressed because of the International Hotel incident, so how could she have the mood to come to work again?
But if you say she is smart, she didn't care about her foreign friends at the International Hotel at all.
I don’t mention that anymore. I just feel it’s new to work in the Security Department.
I even visited the detention room on the first day, just to see what the environment was like for people who were imprisoned for crimes.
Peng Xiaoli racked his brains to find an adjective, which is innocent.
Her parents have worked so hard to protect their daughter so well... So funny.
Wang Lu didn't care whether this was the leader's office or not, and she didn't care what her uncle's attitude was. She just sat on the sofa next to Xia Zhongquan.
"Our leaders don't care about me, why do you want to send me to the frontier?"
"I want to send you to the moon!"
Xia Zhongquan shook his arms, but failed to shake off his niece's hand.
He looked at Li Xuewu helplessly, feeling completely ashamed.
But there are a bunch of naughty boys in the family, and only this little girl is spoiled by several old people.
"I'm sorry to trouble you—"
"Hahaha, that's good."
Li Xuewu looked at Wang Lu with a smile and asked, "How is it? Is it interesting to work in the Security Department?"
"Interesting, much more interesting than working in an international hotel—"
Wang Lu nodded, looked at Li Xuewu with certainty and said, "Just don't give me a gun."
"I'll fire a cannon at you--!"
Xia Zhongquan, who was standing by, puffed his beard and glared at him, saying, "Why do you need a gun when you work in a government office?"
"If you don't want to give it, then don't give it—"
Wang Lu curled her lips, looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Leader, when you change your secretary, can you consider me?"
She said excitedly, "People say they can learn a lot from you."
"Comrade Wang Lu, you are not kind--"
Peng Xiaoli, who was about to knock on the door, heard this and said to Wang Lu with a smile: "I was the one who arranged this job for you!"
"I didn't say I was stealing yours—"
Wang Lu looked at the young man who came in with him, and explained a little embarrassedly: "I already said that the leader wants to change the secretary."
“Why—!”
Seeing that she was sitting next to Xia Zhongquan, Peng Xiaoli knew that they were not discussing serious business, so he also started a joke.
"I'm doing a good job, and you're just hoping that the leader will replace me!"
"Hello, leader—"
The young man who followed Peng Xiaoli in greeted him with a standard standing attention salute. It was Zhao Yajun.
"Come on, Yajun."
Li Xuewu waved his hand, turned around and introduced Xia Zhongquan: "I plan to let him take charge of the security of the delegation going to Japan."
After listening to Li Xuewu's introduction, Xia Zhongquan carefully looked at the young man in front of him.
He is tall, has sharp eyes, and a face full of youth and vigor. He is a good soldier in the Security Department.
When Wang Lu heard the leader's introduction, she remembered what her uncle had been talking about: going to Japan. Now she knew what they were talking about.
She looked at Zhao Yajun with some envy. Nowadays, leaving the village was considered a happy event, let alone going abroad.
Zhao Yajun didn't understand what his second brother said, but in the leader's office, he just stood up straight and listened to orders.
"There is no need to worry about his family background and work ability, which are enough to handle this job."
Li Xuewu pointed at Zhao Yajun and said calmly, "This is my sister-in-law's younger brother."
"Oh--"
Xia Zhongquan nodded, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "I think it's okay."
Of course no problem. If Li Xuewu hadn’t introduced this sentence, he would have been nervous.
But after confirming Li Xuewu's relationship, he felt that there was no problem.
If someone wants to go out and not come back, even Li Xuewu, my little relative, would not think so.
The moon in other countries is not always round, so you can’t eat it as a cake.
Li Xuewu turned around, looked at Zhao Yajun and said, "Go home and pack up. Tell your sister that there will be a car to pick you up tomorrow morning. Go to training for a few days first. You have a mission."
"Yes!"
When Zhao Yajun heard that there was a mission, he saluted neatly, said goodbye, and turned to leave.
Xia Zhongquan had been observing Zhao Yajun. After the others left, he glanced at his niece and asked Li Xuewu, "How old is this child? Where is he from? How many people are there?"
